Sensi Peel
Regenesis Medical Spa offers the Sensi Peel especially formulated for use in clients with sensitive skin and higher Fitzpatrick skin tones. This superficial and gentle peel is the perfect chemical peel for any client who suffers with rosacea and sensitive skin. This peel targets advanced concerns such as acne breakouts and sun-induced pigmentation. The Sensi Peel’s blend of plant-derived ingredients and AHAs contribute to a brighter and more even skin tone.
How it works
The Sensi peel contains 6% TCA, which helps to improve fine lines and wrinkles, and acne scarring and 12% lactic acid which brightens skin and evens skin tone. Lactic acid breaks down bonds between skin cells to allow for easier exfoliation of dead surface cells while hydrating the skin. It also functions as a melanogenesis inhibitor by suppressing the formation of tyrosinase. Other ingredients include 2% hydroquinone which lightens skin, kojic acid, cL-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C ), azelaic acid, resorcinol, arbutin, marshmallow root extract, and sweet almond oil. Sensi Peel strengthens and brightens skin by stimulating natural collagen production without increasing erythema. Although the peel is milder than other peels, it still is aggressive enough to remove any dead skin cells, treat superficial lines, blackheads and shrink the size of your pores.
What to expect from a Sensi Peel?
Initially, a slight stinging sensation may be noted once the peel is applied, although this quickly subsides. Once the Sensi Peel has been applied, patients are free to return home. This peel is self-neutralizing and does not need to be removed and should be left overnight before cleansing the face the next morning.
What to expect after a Sensi Peel?
Following the peel, ypur skin may appear slightly red. Most patients who undergo these treatments have residual redness for up to twelve hours post procedure. By day 2, your skin may begin to flake, usually starting between your eyes, around your mouth and nose. Sun damaged spots may turn darker prior to peeling. Do not peel the skin. This may cause hyperpigmentation. By Day 3, our skin will flake, peel and feel tight. Begin using a strong hydrating cream and use it often throughout the day. You must completely avoid the sun during this time and wear SPF 30 anytime you go outdoors. The majority of peeling takes place between days 3 and 4. Continue with cleansing and moisturizing. By the end of the second week, you should be able to tolerate glycolic, salicylic, vitamin C, and retinol, retinoid products. The Sensi peel should be repeated every two to three weeks for optimal results. A series of six peels is recommended to achieve maximum results and can be performed every 7 to 10 days.
